| schestowitz | Speaking as a former IBM employee of a non-US company, there was never any 'tariff' on my work. Software isn't imported like steel or TV's, people in other countries check into the same github instance as Americans and....that's it. | Nov 09 03:01 |
| schestowitz | Every non-US IBMer is an employee of "IBM ", a wholly-owned subsidiary of IBM Corp. Transferring software between different parts of a public corp isn't covered by any of the current tariffs and it's incredibly unlikely it ever will be. Trump didn't win because people give a sh*t about IBM outsourcing tech jobs to India, he won because they somehow believe he'll bring refrigerator manufacturing back to Ohio (even though he failed to do | Nov 09 03:01 |
| schestowitz | that in his first term). That gets the blue collar votes. | Nov 09 03:01 |

| schestowitz | Even if he did bring manufactoring back to Ohio, it does not translate that it would create manufactoring jobs. Robots can do most of the work, and only need a few programmers employed to ensure they do not break. | Nov 09 03:02 |
| schestowitz | People miss this. They thimk that removing low cost jobs will bring back their high paying jobs, It won't. It will just mean neither Americans or externals will have jobs. | Nov 09 03:02 |

| schestowitz | Hi Roy, | Nov 09 04:30 |
| schestowitz | Long time no speak, how are you? | Nov 09 04:30 |
| schestowitz | I wanted to ask you if you might be interested in reviewing my recently published IT-focused, career-oriented book How to Make Your Career Suck Less on Tuxmachines? | Nov 09 04:30 |
| schestowitz | It's the anti-hero take on the whole corporate morass that surrounds us, and how to have some modicum of fun and respect in the IT industry, based on my own experience over the decades. | Nov 09 04:30 |
| schestowitz | Whatever answer you have is fine. If it's a yes, I'm looking for an honest (good or bad) review of the book and its ideas, and of course, under what conditions you'd consider the review. | Nov 09 04:30 |
| schestowitz | If this is something that might interest you, please ping back, if not, no worries, and keep on doing what you've been doing! | Nov 09 04:30 |
| schestowitz | Cheers," | Nov 09 04:30 |
| schestowitz | The subject interests me and I wrote similar things in http://techrights.org/wiki/Sirius_Open_Source/ | Nov 09 04:30 |
| schestowitz | How long is this book and how will it be provided? PDF? | Nov 09 04:30 |

| schestowitz | <p> Additionally, users can assign different voices to various sections of the text, enhancing the listener’s immersion. This feature is accessible from the Tools menu within the book editor. </p> | Nov 09 11:15 |
